Answer and explanation;
-Strong acids and bases are defined as compounds that completely ionize in water or aqueous solution. Weak acids and bases only partially dissociate.
A strong acid will fully dissociate in water to form H+ ions.
HCl + H2O---> H3O+ + Cl-
This reaction is non-reversible. After dissolution, only a very very minute concentration of HCl itself remains in the solution, as most of the diluted HCl has dissolved into ions.
Ka = [H+] [Cl-] / [HCl]
The same applied for bases. The only difference is that the base dissociates to form OH- ions instead.
Strong and weak bases will depend likewise on whether the reaction is reversible.
A strong base will completely dissociate to give more OH- ions.
An example of a strong base;
NaOH + H2O ---> Na+ + OH- + H2O
Kb = [Na+] [OH-] / [NaOH]
